How hard would it be to install some BBK Shorty headers on a 96 mustang GT? Would it require lifting the motor out or anything Major?

same crap that you have to install longtubes... might as well do longtubes - give you more power in the end.

You have to drop the front suspinsion or raise the motor?

I think there's two ways.. cherry picker and lifting the engine, or removing the k member and holding the engine up. Never installed them - but those seem to be the 2 most popular ways. I am sure some other people will chime in, and give better examples.

I was hoping being 16 and having to pay for my car I could avoid the whole having them installed thing and do it my self.

By the way I'm very tallented with a wrench (I work at a local small engine repair shop)

I know my shop did my longtubes, and he said it was a 8hr job... and this is a guy thats been doin em for a long time... and builds cars fast enough to get on the cover of 5.0, lol

Ooh so the headers are pretty much like rear gears take it to a quality shop huh.? God wanting stuff you can't afford sucks.

i done shorties on my 01 gt, i removed the motor mounts and used a jack under the oil pan. Its a job it took me a full weekend. make sure u get good gaskets.

Just FYI shorties are a complete waste of time on a boltons only 2v, let alone a NPI car.

If you pick up 2 WHP I would be fairly surprised. Save your money for another mod.

Ive heard the same thing 2000gt thats why i still have factory headers. Im not doing it myself and the cost for the small gain seems stupid. Ive got a set of bassani mid lengths and x pipe in the garage now but i like my prochamber so its stayin there lol.
